Keeping this post real short as I do not want to spoil too much (or you can just look to the left side), go here to read on something I "created" yesterday and today.
You might be surprised or RAGE or some other kind of reaction. XP
While I was trying to do something (unfortunately I wasn't able to), I lepak over at Momotoys for a while before going back. Talked to the people there for a while and watched something totally hilarious. Good way to release some tension I guess since I'm feeling quite a lot lately thanks to the higher load of schoolwork due to exams coming up and assignments need to be done ASAP (almost done so its not so bad, assignment-wise).
Anyways, enough babbling repeating words, here are some shots of the Gunpla which are displayed at Momotoys which I played around with a little yesterday evening. XD
Just touch touch this one a bit. Quite impressed with the articulation of this rather old kit (Elbows can bend, feet can bend and shoulders can go up and down!). Makes me want to get that Strike + Force Impulse set even more now. XP
Relatively old kit and its VERY loose already. Seems like it lost one wing and didn't bring along its trademark TBR. Nonetheless, I changed its pose to a punching (?) pose!
I just came back home, tired from all the (real life) stuff happening lately (no, nothing serious, just lotsa schoolwork), opened Ngee Khiong's blog as per usual and saw the best thing I've seen in my life. I don't know if Bandai has magical people in their research department or what but they have outed lots of stuff that I really do want.
Before I continue on with this post, I'd like to say that I already bought some stuff from the recent Momotoys stock that day earlier this week. Haven't bought the one with the dual shiny swords yet but I may or may not get it in the end. Well, we'll see how it goes. Its not like I have to get it but my ABF will feel ronery later. XP
I sadly have no time to build them for now as exams are nearing rapidly and my deadlines for assignments are within 2 weeks. So, for anyone who frequents my blog, I'm sorry to say I'll not be posting much or anything for a while. However, if I do find any free time, I may as well post some stuff up, even though it might not be the usual long posts.
Okay, enough about me, let's talk about what has Bandai done now.
EDIT (14/05/10): Added some additional comments especially for Gundam Harute.
Price: 1000 Yen
A bit late for me to say but Momotoys had a huge truck load of boxes (19 packages) that came in this Wednesday. I wasn't around so I couldn't take any photos of when it came by. However, a person who works there is kind enough to share with us what the contents are. He will continue to do so for future stocks. You can see his post here.
For those who wants to follow what stocks that comes into Momotoys can see his blog or follow the original thread at the Lowyat forums. Well, I might still say when its updated when I can. XP
I haven't bought anything yet but you guys would know what I'll be getting soon-ish. ^^;
A bit hard to get all the wants so I'll probably get 2 to 3 items max. I must truly consider what I really want to buy. I can burn my wallet to heck but I want to save up for other stuff currently. So yeah. XP
Until the next post~ A bit tired tonight so I'll delay that post I promise to tomorrow or at least sometime this weekend.
Since I got me that new camera - Cannon IXUS 105 - I decided to take some shots (capture) my current collection in the cupboard. I am really impressed by this camera at how even Auto Mode meets my necessities without fail. However, I still prefer to use Program Mode (manual mode) so that I have better control over my shots. I still leave the ISO and WB on auto though since I don't want to spend too much time adjusting those for every snap.
Thanks to the image stabilizer, my shots are much more stable than ever. I barely need to delete much or any shots as most of them came out nicely. Really a good thing as I don't need to fuss much when taking any kind of shots now. My family photos and real life photos are coming in much better and my ninja photo taking skill seems to increase further thanks to the faster photo taking speed this new camera has. >D
Okay, enough babbling, here are some shots I took late at night with the new camera. Some uses the flash of the camera but I notice the flash works pretty well, in most cases at least.
FYI, I'm putting up this random post since the SD Unicorn review is much longer than I had anticipated. Especially with the comic strip I had in mind. I'll probably do it by Friday night and you should expect that to be up at my Wordpress blog since I feel like I DO need the pages function.
Today was the last day of the PC Fair over here and I managed to go there this afternoon to get a few required equipment for school, life and you get what I mean. No, I did not buy a pen drive since I already got a 16GB one two years back cheaper than the price you see today. XD
At any rate, the major point of my going to the PC Fair this time was to purchase a new camera and a new printer since I need them dearly. My now previous camera was a bit jumpy already and saw the need of a change. As for a new printer, I need one since the previous one is a pain in the arse to find the effin' ink. Shouldn't have bought Lexmark even though it wasn't really my call at that time.
EDIT: Fixed the photos a bit, especially for Unicorn, Unicorn Mode.
What did I get at the PC Fair this time? Well;
The reason why I posted it there was due to bandwidth related reasons. Specifically, my photo hosting bandwidth. To make the comic easier to read, I used higher quality JPEG which resulted in higher file sizes. The images were too man for me to host on Flickr as Flickr doesn't have the easy functions for external posting in bulk.
Okay, enough babbling, read the comic here.
It is essentially a parody of the first half of the first episode of Gundam 00. XD
Fufufu, just finished my SD Unicorn! And I'm pretty happy with the final result. ^^
This isn't a review post, not yet, but just a preview post. The review will be done a little later after all the paint has settled on the kit. =)
This one is a completely no sticker build but I think I should have used the white stickers as my white paint need a few more coats to actually look more solid. But, meh, I'll leave it as it is as I think the white on transparent red creates a rather nice effect itself.
Also, I had to use Gundam Marker Silver from the Songokuden set as a replacement of my already finished gray marker. I think it works just as well. ^^
Until the next post~
